   Friendly reminder:

   People, stop using #Meta, #Google, and other #BigTech Apps that make YOU the product!

   There are already so many right-wing governments.

     In this vein, #StopBeingTheProduct by letting your #browser track you.

     And so it begins...

     It is time to act, #Meta actively endangers #PublicHealth by suppressing the spread of #Covid and #LongCovid information.

     #BanMeta

     "#Meta acknowledged…to The #WashingtonPost that #Threads is 👉intentionally blocking the search terms ["covid" and "long covid"] 👈and said that other terms are being blocked, but the company declined to provide a list of them."

     I wasn't even aware that Avast had a browser, too. It wasn't in the comparison table either.
